Life As A Soft Girl 🦋

We all have that bit of weight that we’d like to lose. Whether it’s the last 10, 20, or maybe even 50. We fantasize about how much better we’ll feel once it’s finally gone. We tell ourselves that one day we’re going to finally do it. We might even have our moments of trying but then inevitably quit after just a few weeks. Nothing ever really seems to work. I’m going to tell you, though, why you need to lose that weight starting today. No more excuses.

Just think of how much that excess weight has been holding you back in life. Think of all the parties or events you’ve been to where you kept more to yourself than you wanted. You just felt so uncomfortable in your own skin that you stayed quiet in the corner. You didn’t have the confidence to chime in that conversation, to say that witty comment, or be your silly self. You dim your light so as to not attract more attention to yourself. You just don’t want more people looking at you when you already feel so self-conscious. But just think of how unfair that is to you!

I, too, felt that same way for years! It was ridiculous. I was tired of feeling so ugly, uncomfortable, and just not like myself. I would just recoil into myself and be a quiet wallflower at all the parties. Until, one day, I finally realized that the misery I lived in was my own doing. I had spent over 10 years carrying around this burden and I wasn’t willing to give it another second of my life.

That extra weight you carry keeps you from being your lively, bubbly self. It makes you feel insignificant and less than other people. It fuels feelings of jealousy and envy. And the crazy thing is, is that it doesn’t have to be that way. You have the power to be the version of yourself that you want to be. You can be just as fit as anyone else. Your life is flashing right by you while you stand on the sidelines just watching. You’re not going for the goals and things you want in life because you don’t feel worthy of it. But once you lose that excess weight, you will start to realize that you are capable of anything. Anything you want in life is yours and your transformation is proof of that.

Don’t spend not another moment feeling low about yourself, inadequate, or insignificant. Don’t have another day go by where you try on all your clothes in your closet and don’t like how anything fits. I used to be there too. I would constantly be buying more clothes, believing that I just hadn’t found the right pieces to flatter me. I thought if I just had the perfect wardrobe, then I would feel confident. I didn’t think I was the problem; I thought I felt so bad because I must have the wrong clothes. But after spending hundreds (maybe even thousands) on all different styles of clothes and still feeling just as bad, the truth was clear. It wasn’t the clothes that were the problem, but rather, it was the extra weight that enveloped my body. It’s harsh, but it’s true. That weight made everything I wore look unflattering on me and it was the reason I felt so uncomfortable. I was tired of it. I vowed that I wouldn’t let myself go on feeling this way anymore. I was going to finally lose the last 20 or so pounds that I had left once and for all.

I tried the body positivity thing for years. In fact, it caused me to gain even more weight during the years that I practiced self love and intuitive eating. Because of that movement, I got to my heaviest weight of being over 200 pounds at 5’3, but we’ll save that story for another day. I realized that I couldn’t force myself to just love my back fat or stomach pooch. I couldn’t lie to myself and say that I felt beautiful, when I very clearly did not. So as of March 2026, I went on an intensive weight loss regime to lose the last bit of weight that I still carried. I have now lost 14 of the 20 pounds and am feeling so amazing. I am not yet at my finish line, but I can see the goal on the horizon and I know that I will be there in about 2 more months.

Now is your time too. Let’s not waste another moment feeling terrible about ourselves and letting it go on for years. The truth is, we could have that weight lost in just a matter of months! And then we can finally feel like we’ve always wanted to. We can be that girl that we’ve always wanted to be and we can live the life of our dreams. Today is the day. We can’t waste any more time. It doesn’t take too much effort and you will start to feel amazing even sooner than you think! In next week’s post, I’ll share with you how I’ve been able to lose the weight.

You deserve to be your happiest self, right now. It’s time to take action and make that promise for yourself. Today is the day that you start. It’s time to say goodbye to your past self and hello to your future.

Much love,

Peaches
